birthdays.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">But the first mention, 5000 years old, was not for someone\u2019s \u2018birth\u2019 day but for the day of the crowning of a Pharaoh (ruler).<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Since the crowning of a ruler in Egypt was seen as the birth of Pharaoh as God, it was a big deal.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Ancient Greeks borrowed this tradition and started baking moon-shaped cakes to pay\u00a0tribute\u00a0to the Greek\u00a0moon\u00a0goddess, Artemis.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">They added candles to represent moonlight.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Romans took the practice a step further and are believed to have been the first civilization to celebrate the birthdays of common people.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Birthday celebrations became mainstream in the 4th century when Christians began celebrating the birthday of Jesus.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Till this point, Christians considered it a ritual of non-believers, because it was tied to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paganism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pagan<\/a> gods.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">The tradition continued to evolve as people traveled, and the modern birthday celebrations are said to have come from the German celebration called <i>Kinderfest <\/i>(18th century).<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">On the morning of a child\u2019s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles – one for each year they’d been alive, plus another to symbolize the hope of living for at least one more year.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">The family kept replacing the candles as they burned out throughout the day, as no one could eat the cake until after dinner.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">After dinner, the birthday boy or girl would make a secret wish and blow out all the candles.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">It was believed that the smoke carried their prayers & wishes to gods who lived in the skies (that smoke helped to ward off evil spirits is another belief).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Also Read:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/2dpoint.net\/why-is-it-called-going-dutch-when-you-pay-for-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\"
